DRY LAW HAS ANNIVERSARY (Continued From Rage 1) unpaid prohibitionists, declared the law’s six-year record contains the most notable achievements of any governmental social policy, in spite of recent “organized resistance of a minority opinion.” "Prohibition has become a primary factor in the economic prosperity of the nation, decreased death rates, alcoholic insanity and industrial accidents, cut pauperism to the lowest ratio in our history, and elimlnpLid the greatest source of political •corruption—the saloon and brewery interests. Much Opposition “Prohibition has encountered as much opposition from enemies within its ranks as from enemies without, but even in the last six months I have noticed that the bottom has been touched in the hopeless situation and that the pendulum of popular support is swinging back. Th|p people believe it is the law and mVist and will be enforced.” During the last year, the Government completely revamped its enforcement machine, drafting Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Lincoln C. Andrews of New York, a military mail, from private life to take charge. Andrews appointed new deputy directors all over the country and pledged them to a more aggressive policy than ever before. A series of rum and extradition treaties have been put into force with foreign countries. President Coolidge pledged every available resource for enforcement and called on the States to do their share. Appropriations have risen to practically $30,000,000 a year, divided between the prohibition service, coast guard and Justice department. ✓ On the other hand, court and Federal records tend to indicate prohibition is at least a “wee bit wet.” Ever-increasing volumes of court business resulting from alleged violations reveal open contempt, by at least a part of society for the statute. Wets claim the fall elections this year will be fought over the dry issue and will result In a modification. Congress “drys" scoff, pointing to a recent 139 17 test vote in the House in their favor, although the Anti-Saloon league recently held a “crisis convention.” Property Seized Federal prohibition director’s figures show that during the sixyear dry war, $60,000,000 worth of property was seized and mostly deVroyed. This Included more than -4,000,000 gallons of spirits and 26,000,000 gallons of malt liquors, 18,000 automobiles and 600 boats . Optometrists’ businesses boomed during the period. Bootleg liquor caused hundreds of deaths and Inflicted Illness on thousands. The number of physicians Issuing liquor prescriptions, In several States, jumped to about 83,000 out of a total of 150,000 members of the profession. Liberty League leaders and chiefs of other organizations opposed to the dry law refused to be interviewed on the subject, on the ground that they were unauthorized io speak in an official capacity and declining In a personal capacity as not wanting the publicity.

VOLSTEAD STATEMENT ' Says Prohibition America’s Greatest Blee'.ing. Bu United Presi ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan, 16.—"N0 greater blessing has come *to the American people In generations than the ban against the saloon," Andrew J. Volstead, father of the prohibition enforcement law, declared today. "The national prohibition law,” he said,” has been in effect six years today, a short time in which to wipe out this age-long evil. The effect it has produced has hot met the expectations of some—many hoped and predicted It would prove utterly dlsasterous, other expected it to accomplish the Impossible. In my opinion its effect has been that is reasonable, in view of the bitter opposition of the entrenched liquor interests with their millions for carrying on the fight.” AUTOPSY OVER PASTOR Announce Death Was Natural; Heirs Fight Over Will.
